Ingredients

1½ c. all-purpose flour

1 c. wheat bran

2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp. baking soda

.13 tsp. Kosher salt

1 c. buttermilk

1 large egg

¼ c. unsweetened applesauce

¼ c. molasses

¼ c. granulated sugar

1 tbsp. canola oil

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

¾ c. raisins

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, wheat bran, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt.

In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, applesauce, molasses, sugar, oil and vanilla. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just incorporated; fold in the raisins.

Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm, if desired.
